I know someone has had to have done a solid Axel conversion on a 280z i was wondering if someone could give me a link to where i could get more info on it or possibly a link to a kit. :cheers:

any reason why?

Drag Racing, i'm not too confidant an r200 will take the shock of a 6500rpm clutch dump on slicks and 200 shot of nitrous through an ls1

I don't think you will be finding a kit for this. It would be a custom job. I have heard of a Ford 9inch kit that converted the centre, but kept the IRS, but then the halfshafts will probably need upgrading too.

One question though, if you are drag racing, why are you using a manual gearbox? Or is it just the occasional blast down the track?

just cuz i like being able to shift manually and ocassionally take it out for a spin, it's hard to drive a 4k stall converter car around town . But maily this will be a dedicated racecar besides i've had bad luck with torque converter balloning/ grenading (on nitrous) and destroying the tranny.

You would probably be better looking for advice at hybridz.com.

Most people on this site tend not to modify their zeds.

Good luck and post any results back to this thread!

hybridz.org, actually.

there's an alternative = use an r230 from a 300zx/tt or infiniti q45. it's a 9" limited slip diff with IRS. There are guys who have already created mount kits and adapter plates.

Your other alternative is to section the rear and convert it to a ford 9". You'll have to shorten the splines, obviously
